Ska Studios hasn’t provided specific sales figures for Salt and Sanctuary on Switch. But according to the developer’s Michelle Juett it “sold super well” in its first week on the eShop. Juett also mentioned that it rivaled Salt and Sanctuary’s first week Steam numbers.

While Ska Studios is keeping quiet on specifics, Salt and Sanctuary was the fourth best-selling digital game on the eShop during the past week. It was also the eighth best-selling Switch title overall.

Square Enix held its own conference for financial results earnings earlier today. The company had quite a bit to say about the performance of Octopath Traveler.

The new Switch RPG had sales stronger than Square Enix’s pre-sales forecast. Moreover, it exceeded expectations especially in the United States and Europe. The game also saw higher-than-average ratio of download version vs. packaged.

Octopath Traveler has managed to reach a major milestone. The RPG has shipped one million copies worldwide, Nintendo and Square Enix have announced. That figure is based on shipments and eShop downloads.

Switch wasn’t the best-selling platform in the United States during June. That honor went to the NES Classic Edition, thanks to the recent restock. It was the highest unit-selling hardware platform. As relayed by NPD’s Mat Piscatella, this is the first time a Nintendo Entertainment System console has led in monthly unit sales since NPD tracking began in 1995.

Despite not being number one, there is still good news for Switch. Nintendo’s console saw its sales rise over 50% in June year-over-year.
